Chronobiological Tempo

Meaning

Chronobiological Tempo refers to the intrinsic, genetically-encoded pace and timing of an individual’s endogenous biological rhythms, encompassing the frequency and amplitude of circadian, ultradian, and infradian cycles that govern nearly all physiological processes. This tempo dictates the optimal timing for hormone secretion, peak cognitive function, and metabolic efficiency throughout the 24-hour cycle. It represents a fundamental, individualized aspect of physiology that profoundly influences susceptibility to stress and the capacity for optimal health and longevity.
